Cotton i'm the Arkansas Valley
Wichita Daily Eagle.

WNuitN DuIy I.dSic.
Southern Kansas has long been
noted for the variety Of her products.
Time and again have people tried the
experiment Of raising cotton. 1t al
ways seemed to mature, yet people we're
not inclined to try c"tton raising on a
large scale, as it was always claimed
Kansas is located too far north to allow
the raising Of cotton to be made sue
ccssful. However, J. W. Garner, Of
Kingman county. concluded tn try the
experiment on a larger scale than any
heretofore made, and seems to have
been rewarded with success greater
than even he anticipated. A sample
of his cotton is now on our table, and
seems to be equal to any cotton raised
in Arkansas or northern Texas. 1t is
not Of extraordinary length, but is OF
excellent quality. This sample is from
a shipment Of two thousand pounds
shipped few days az" from New

LOcOed Animals and Post Nor
tenn.

The subject of loco or crazy weed
needs no introduction to our cattle and
stock men and anything Of int, est con-
corning the physiological effects of the
plant which are reliable will be of i'm
mense value to us and neighboring
states, where the weed thrives in past
ure fasms.
Professor Sayre, Of the department
of pharmacy, of the Kansas State
University, and Mr.. A. J. Smith, re-
cent graduate in this department, came
here on Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of investigating the subject. They
have been through the southwestern
part of the state gathering statistics
concerning the loco and we're here by
invitation of Mr.. R. +. Steele, who
has been for several weeks keeping for
their purpose a locoed COW on the
Crooked l. ranch. which he placed at
their disposal on Wednesday morning.
Our reporter was on the ground at the
time of the post norton, which was
performed by Professor Sayre, Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Steele. The animal
was four years Of age, but Mr.. Steele
said, ''no bigger than she was at two
years" The free indulgence in loco
whenever she could get it for the past
Year, had not only stopped her growth,
but made her very poor and gave her a
wasted appearance. She had decided
ly stupid appearance which the pro-
fessor stated seemed to be caused by
partially exhausted or debilitated con-
dition rather than the result of a mar
cotic poison; the breathing was rapid
and short and muscular force very much
impaired. For example: The head
seemed to be in sort of trembling can
dition, well illustrated in aged persons
who reach the stage of decrepitude,
who have apparently no control over
the muscles which keep the head firm
and hands still.
The blood was light, but not abnor-
NAL. The first noticeable abnormal
feature was a large quantity of serious
fluid in the abdominal cavity. The
pericardium (sac of the hearty con-
tanned about pint of fluid of the same
nature. The peritoneum Ginning mem

vas the first person who saw the sea
serpent near Kingston Point last summer.
1t has remained, however, for q ms1
named Brown who lives out bac' of
Saugerties to see the serpet in
the Hudson river in the winter
Brown, like pretty much every body
else who has seen the serpent was per-
fectly sober. He said that at the CON-
meDcement of the heavy snow storm
Thursday morning he walked consid-
cradle distance on the Hud-
son for the purpose of set
Ting his nets in the river.
Brown found great crack in the ice, and
suddenly he felt q sensation as though
the ice was being lifted up beneath him.
He says he saw the ice roll and then split
IN two, Masking similar crack to the one
ne had jumped over short distance to
the southward.
Brown sajs that before the waving
of the ice had ceased 9 strange
looking animal with two eyes nearly IS
big as saucerS aud of the color Of terra
Gotta, glared as him fiercely. The head
ot the beast remained above the ice for
several second. Brown thinks it is the
sea serpent tha- was seen off Kingston
point and elsewhere above here last sum-
mer. Brown is the first man on record
who has seen the serpent in December

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-S0On after the

He says the Others may be able 70 put in
an appearance at their respective offices
by Tuesday, if they suffer no relapse, but
he atds that they all curse mescal from
the bottom of their hearts. This
one says he crank less than
4 quarter of 4 gill mixed with about the

bers nothing since o'clock yesterday
afternoon, but lie gives it as his opinion
that if it be proved that the citizens
of Mexico really did put any
of the stuff in Minister Mannlng's wine,
the Uuited States has good cause for q
declaration Of war. The experiment was
entirely satisfactory and will not be le-
peated by the same gentlemen.

One Of the Things We Lack.

The .'Indian and Colonial exhibition,
which has just closed in London, was
open few days more than six months.
During that period $3.50. 749 persons WIS.,
tied it, an average Of 33,s46 day. Last
year Inventions exhibitions in tho
same city drew 8, $50, 5s1 visitors, or 23,-
97l day. In 1884 no fewer than 4, 1885,
800 persons went to the Health" ex-
hibition, or 1885 day, and in 1888 there
were 2,703, 05l visitors, an average Of 49,
3s7 day, at the FISHERIES exhibition.
The" Indian and Colonial has been very
successful financially, although the high
est charge for admission has been twenty
five cents. OF course such immense ex-
hibitions are not 10 be thought of in q
city like Cleveland, but the results in
London show what possibilities for such
shows are. In smaller way the exhibi-
tons yearly held in Chicago, Pittsburg,
st. Louis and other American cities are
equally profitable, both to their man
ayers and TO the cities in which they are
located. They draw trade and are a
great advertisement of local enterprise
and public sprit.-Clsveland Leader.
